This teaching focuses on the truth that we are citizens of heaven and that, while we are in this world, we are not of this world. The analogy is made comparing us to an ambassador to a foreign country. They are temporarily in that country representing someone while their citizenship is somewhere else, just as we represent Christ on this earth. We shouldn’t get caught up in the things of this world but rather remember who we represent, what our sonship rights are, and that we are here temporarily.
